["Closed" Temporarily]Have your dreams & nightmares interpreted!

[jiny]

I had a dream two nights ago, it was about a homeless man trying to get into my car, sleeping in it. It was super scary,,because the rest of us didn't know he was even there. When we got home, he got out with us, but my mom said "ok sleep in our house" and he slept in my room.. it was really weird and stuff so I don't know what it means?? I remember it very vividly so if you need anything else just ask.

I've had a really terrible dream in my lifetime I'll never forget...I remember being in a fence with zombie versions of my friends and family reaching in to eat me, I have a gun with me, but instead of shooting any of them, I end my life.then I wake up.

I've never had this dream ever again in my lifetime.it still freaks me out though.

I really appreciate you doing this, by the way.

I try to kill myself and I always die in my dreams or end up in the hospital but when I'm in my imagined afterlife it's just an empty room

I?ve had a dream like that once. Dreaming of killing oneself can either be desires of escape or saying goodbye to the old and hello to a brand new you. In general, dreams of death are about transforming yourself, though the method of death adds to the meaning. That?s why I have to factor in a possibility of harboring guilt and wanting to escape for your dream in particular. Being in a hospital is usually synonymous to needing to heal yourself, whether physically or mentally. Though for your dream I like to think of it more as the brand new you interpretation because of the empty room. Empty rooms usually indicate a fresh new start or a blank slate.

I?ve also included a link to the site that has different meanings on death:

http://www.dreammoods.com/commondreams/death-dreams.html

I've had nightmares about being kidnapped, escaping and running away looking for help. No one helped me.

Dreams of being kidnapped indicate feelings of being trapped or restrained. Perhaps someone or something is driving your attention away from what you really want to accomplish. The escape portion refers to a need to escape from a restrictive situation, but it can also be a refusal in facing your problems. Your dream adds even more to that theme of facing your problems with the running away. It indicates something you are trying to avoid. Calling for help is the feeling of being lost, and overwhelmed. I guess these dreams are trying to tell you that you want to escape from something, but in order to do so, you need to face your fears.

I?m going to post this in the first post, but in the future I would like to ask everyone to limit their dream postings to two dreams per post per 24 hours. I do like interpreting dreams but I?ve been getting very busy and it is very hard to get to everyone when I have to interpret five dreams in one post and I have to find the time to interpret everything in one go. I?m sorry for not posting this earlier and for not getting to everyone as fast as I would like to. :/ I?m trying my best to get to everyone so please be patient! I?ll get to your dreams soon! Oh and if you posted more than 2 dreams previously I?m still going to interpret them all and it?s not your fault! I just didn?t think it through (and I really didn?t think many people would want a dream interpreted so thank you for giving me lots of material to work with! ).

some nightmares I remember as well as random moments I can also remember

I?ll separate the different meanings for your post (and I?ll put the last one in spoiler tags).

First dream/nightmare:

The oldest nightmare I can remember was from my childhood, well part of it that is, is that I remember being on the bottom of a stair case and my family screaming at me to jump, the stair cases ended at a large hole, which was actually the cellar of my old house, the cellar I was scared of for so long living there. My fear of it made me unable to move no matter how many times they screamed at me to jump I couldn't eventually I gave in and made a jump for it, right when I was close to the other side several hands grabbed on to me, I held on as tight as I could to the ledge keeping the hands from pulling me down, I cried for my family to help me but they all just walked away and left me my grip wore out and the hands dragged me down to the darkness each of my limps were grabbed by many hands and I was tore apart from the limbs.

First, staircases are about changes and transformation. Perhaps the fear of jumping down into the hole indicates a fear of confronting repressed emotions or thoughts. It could also have something to do with feeling ?down.? Your family screaming at you to jump must have been confusing. You probably don?t understand where they are coming from. Why are they asking you to jump into a hole? It seems they may have been asking you to take the risk and explore new things. However, you were afraid to jump in meaning you were afraid of uncertainty and change. The hole, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. It can represent hidden aspects of activities. Or perhaps you need to feel ?whole? (as I have said to many, dreams like puns too much). Finally jumping could indicate that you needed to take the risk. In your dream you felt scared so you were still afraid to take that risk. This fear of going deeper is also reflected in the cellar, the part that represents the subconscious mind where your fears and problems are hidden. Perhaps the dream is telling you to go down and face your fears and problems.

Then in the next part of your dream, hands pull you down despite your cries to your family and you were torn apart. Hands are the communicators. In this case, I think it is either authority or hate because of the pulling and tearing apart. This disembodied hands in particular indicate not being understood or feelings of loneliness. Trying to hold on to the ledge could be your attempt in manipulating this anxiety on the lack of power or control (indicated by the dragging). The dragging also represents being reluctant in doing something. People not responding to your cries reflects helplessness and frustrations with communications with others. The dream might be telling you to become more vocal and to work harder to get your point across. Being ignored reflects overlooking something. The dive into darkness signifies some failure in something you have been attempting or a fear of the unknown. Finally, being torn from all different directions suggests something falling apart, feeling isolated and feeling powerless. You need to take special attention to how you reach out to others and how you stand up for yourself.

In summary, this nightmare seems to be about a reluctance for change and a need to look closely at how you relate yourself to others, how you communicate to others, and how you stand up for yourself. Don?t be afraid to take risks and explore the unknown!

Second dream

This next one takes place in a large and fancy theater I am with my grandparents we are in line waiting to get into some show I can't remember, my grandmother hands me some money I go to the claw machine, I am given unlimited plays for some reason but this is a dream so who cares, I am winning each time giving the prizes to children everyone is cheering and asking me to get them something, suddenly without any thought the everything goes silent I turn around to see why, and when I did I was greeted by an empty and abandoned theater slowly falling apart due to the ages, I then decided to walk outside, and it wasn't any better like the theater the whole town was abandoned no sign of a soul anywhere could be found not even an animal, or so that's what I thought I see a man with his back faces towards me I was so happy to see someone else so I ran over him but my happiness was soon to be ruined cause when he turned around, his face well if you call it a face had a large caved in hole in the center filled with puss and maggots crawling and dripping about.

The theater is your social life and the performances that happen are supposed to reflect situations that occur in your waking life. It could also be a metaphor for being ?theatrical? and too dramatic. Your grandparents represent love, security, wisdom, and protection. Perhaps they are these aspects waiting with you in the line to your social life. Standing in line is supposed to represent a need for patience. Money in this case can either be success and prosperity, confidence, or giving love. I would like to think it is giving love since it was your grandmother giving you the money and since you also in turn gave the prizes to the other children. Playing the claw machine represents something in your life within reach but continuing to escape your grasp. However, you were winning each time, indicating that you will probably succeed anyway and that you have now found confidence in your abilities. Perhaps the dream is trying to encourage you to keep trying! Still, you were generous and decided to give your winnings away. Giving away indicates a need to give more into a relationship or a situation and being able to give fulfills a need to share and belong. The people cheering you on indicates that this is the right direction and again is a confidence boost. I think this time your dream really wanted you to feel good about yourself and ?cheer up.?

Next is the portion where you meet the abandoned theater and town. First, the quietness indicates needing to stop and reflect on life. It denotes a need for looking into yourself and regaining balance. This ties especially into the abandonment of the theater and town. It is about letting go of old attitudes or having ?reckless abandon? and living more freely. I definitely lean more to the letting go of old attitudes since seeing something old suggests there is something you need to replace or get rid of. Perhaps it is something in your social life since it is the theater that got particularly old. Finally, seeing the strange man is about a part of yourself that is repressed or it could even be the dream helper trying to offer you advice. I?m not sure what the puss means, but I can tell about the maggots and the hole. Like I said earlier, holes might mean to be ?whole? or it could be about exploring new things. The maggots represent anxieties about death or a problem that you wanted to ignore that is ?eating away? at yourself. Perhaps your dream helper is trying to get you to confront that fear because it destroys harmony and balance.
For this second dream there seems to be a theme of giving love, gaining confidence in your abilities, regaining balance, and confronting your fears. I think the dream is trying to encourage you that you can do all of these things. The man in particular is supposed to be someone that is helping you and trying to show you the way, even if he is quite disgusting and scary.

Third Dream

I was in front of a house, the house was on fire and in the yard were to young boys they too were on fire they're skin melting from the heat screaming in agony for me to help them, one boy's body was so twisted up in a way impossible for any human, I tried to ignore their screams because I couldn't do anything to help them, they were scream and screaming louder the more I ignored them.

Your house is your soul and self. Dreaming that it was on fire indicates a need for transformation. It could also be representative of a fiery passion within you and of the love from those around you. Dreaming that someone is burned alive suggests that you are being consumed by your own ambition. While it?s good to be ambitious, perhaps the dream indicates that it got a little too out of hand, going beyond your soul (the house) and affecting people around you (the two boys). You hear them screaming, which might mean that someone needs your help in real life. It can also reflect anger that you need to express. However, you wanted to ignore that, but your dream is telling you that you need to pay attention to this anger inside you that you need to express. I also think the dream might be telling you that you are feeling to ?hot? inside and that everything is burning up. It might be trying to get you to pay attention to the pent up anger that has started to burn your inner self.

Fourth Dream

I'm watching group of men in the woods there is one man on his knees and two other men holding him down to make sure he doesn't try to get away, another man soon appears holding a bucket of..water or something? I thought but how wrong I was the strange liquid was dumped on to the man his flesh and skin disolve from the acid that was actually inside of it screaming in agonizing pain begging for it to stop saying that he was sorry and for them to let him go.

Seeing groups in your dreams refer to merging different parts of yourself. Seeing men in particular is about authority or masculinity. The dream is probably showing you different authoritative selves. Since the dream is happening in the woods and in what seems to look like a cult movement, it is symbolizing what is unknown and some hidden potential that you need to open yourself up to. There was a man kneeling in this dream. The knees represent support but it can also be able feelings of weakness and inadequacy. There is definitely something about power struggles since there are three other men torturing this kneeling man. Kneeling in this kind of situation I think is about being open to how people are influencing you or how you are surrendering some aspect of yourself. Then someone poured that bucket full of strange liquid. Buckets indicate improvements in current situation and it was filled at some point which meant that inside was some abundance of something. Liquids, especially water, indicate emotions you need to face. This liquid caused the man kneeling to melt and probably become skinless. Since the skin represents protection it means that your defenses have started to melt. There is difficulty in sensing what is going on around you. However, you need to look beyond superficial things and find the truth. Then the man says sorry, which highlights a forgiveness and letting go. Perhaps it is a letting go of anger that needs to come out.

This dream seems to be about different parts of yourself. There is hidden potential, authority, and a letting go of defenses. Try to see different parts of yourself in the different men in the group. It is a play on the different aspects of yourself.

Discussion of other dream elements

and my friends and family will kill themselves in very horrific ways as well sometimes in my nightmares and there is also a nightmare version of myself and she was always the reason that caused my friends and family to kill themselves I remember in one nightmare she made my mom carve out her throat with a spoon.
though now she barely looks like me she became more monstrous looking but she still sounds like me and she
Also tells me things horrible things to make me feel like **** she enjoys playing with my mind
Rape and being all alone is a recurring theme in my nightmares.

Watching people killing themselves actually means you?re really concerned about them or it could also represent qualities of yourself you?re trying to ?kill? or get rid of. Perhaps your nightmare version is actually representative of someone that is trying to show you qualities your subconscious thinks isn?t needed. In particular, the nightmare where she makes your mother carve out her throat with a spoon might be telling you to swallow your pride and to seek comfort and protection. Perhaps the horrible things she is telling you is representative of what you might subconsciously feel or things you tell yourself. This part I?m not entirely sure, but I think this alternate self might actually be teaching you of the detrimental things you?re doing to yourself by assuming your form and showing you horrible actions.

Being alone represents feelings of rejection and feeling as though no one understands you while being raped represents feelings of being violated, taking advantage of you, or the destruction of your self-esteem. It feels as though you are forced upon situations. Since these are what are recurring, it could be that you are feeling these things for a significant portion of your life.

Spoiler: Trigger warning: Rape

okay I'll make this short, okay so I'm in a dark room and floating above me was this large mechanical jelly fish looking creature I'm just looking at it admiring how awesome it looked but it turned out to not be so awesome when one the wires grabbed me and then another one of it's sharp pointed wires went straight up into me and out of my mouth, two more then shoved themselves right into my eyes and more and more stabbed right into my body each then began to move in and out causing me a bit of pain which I was able to feel a bit, when it was done it just threw me against a wall

Spoiler: interpretation of spoilered dream

Before I begin, I want you to also keep in mind that dreams of this nature tend to occur in people who have?experienced it in real life. That is something to note in the recurrence of this theme. If you haven?t already, please talk to someone if that is what is occurring in your life and know that nothing you say about it is stupid or useless or a crying wolf thing. You have a right to speak about it. If this does not apply to you please ignore this.
I also want to let you know that dreams of this nature are also influenced by what we watch/read so keep that in mind as well.

Now there is no ?mechanical jellyfish? in the dream dictionary so I tried to take it apart as a robotic jellyfish. Something robotic indicates going about life in a mechanical and rigid way without the freedom of expression. It could also be a symbol of your working life. Jellyfish represent painful memories emerging from the subconsciousness. It is perhaps some hidden aggression in a relationship or situation in real life. It can also be lack of self-esteem and inadequacy. I can see this going both ways and we will see them both occur in the later symbols. Now for the wires I took as both wiring and tentacles. Tentacles represent unknown danger in the subconsciousness trying to pull you in to address issues you refuse to acknowledge. It can also be a representative of a clingy relationship so keep that in mind. Wires on the other hand represent the flow of energy and the stress in your life. It can also be your connections with others. I think by combining both of these symbols I can see that the wires from the mechanical jellyfish might be trying to get you to look at issues and stress in your life. This goes hand in hand with the rape theme. Perhaps they are trying to get you to acknowledge feelings of violation or being taken advantage of, especially the feeling of being forced to do something.

Next, there were different parts of your body affected by the pointed wires. Something pointed could either be a pun thing where the dream is telling you there is a ?point? or that you need to get your ?point? across, or it could be representing that there is something you need to look at right away. I see it more of the latter situation, but I put the other meaning above just in case it might actually relate to you more. Seeing your mouth signifies your need to express yourself and talk about an issue bothering you. Something hitting you on the mouth indicates being unable to express anger and other negative emotions. I think the dream is trying to tell you to look at how you are stifling yourself and that you need to express yourself more. The eyes being poked and hurt by the wires seem to suggest a refusal to see the truth or an expression of being in pain. It might be that you are afraid of others seeing the truth about you. Your own body getting hurt suggests that your self-esteem is being shot. At the end, you were thrown towards a wall. Walls indicate limits and obstacles. Being thrown towards it is suggesting that you need to get rid of those walls and explore. Perhaps these different issues and your reluctance to look at them are holding you back and you need to wake up and acknowledge them.

I apologize for how long it took to respond to this. It was a bunch of dreams at once so it took awhile. Please let me know if I missed anything and I hope everything gets better! I?ll also attach a link to how to conquer your recurring dreams to help you.

Ooo this'll be fun! ... Well I dream about my ex a lot, but at this point I dont feel anything about him anymore O:

 

[Halebop]

I've had quite a few dreams involving people murdering each other. They are never graphic but I am always around when the murders occur. In one dream I was friends with a group of boys who were in trouble with a gang and there was just a lot of shooting. The other night I had a dream i was at my friends house about to go in when people were fighting outside his house and i was hiding watching them try to kill each other. I don't really think of them as nightmares because the people that die are never people i know in real life, nor is the murder graphic enough to be scary. Its just weird. I also had a self defense kind of murder dream... I had a dream i was dating this boy and was at my boyfriends house and his brother was extremely violent and killed their cat and was about to kill his brother (my boyfriend) with a knife but i tackled the brother and strangled him. It was just as protection. That dream was more graphic though because I was bashing the guys head into the ground and trying to crush his skull. That part was disturbing.

 

[brownboy102]

I had a dream that actually had me wake up crying. It was not lucid, and there is swearing involved. It is also very long.

~~~~~~~~

So when the dream started, I was in a bunker. It was World-War II and my two greatest friends and I had been deported to Normandy, France, on the day now called D-Day.

When we got there the parachute bombs had already landed and given the Germans a surprise. We were on the boats when we heard machine-gun fire. It was from the Germans.

A brave soldier lost his life stopping it. He ran into the open and threw a grenade at the machine gun, and was shot down. The machine-gun stopped firing and the troops marched forward.

We stormed the beach, me running along my greatest friends in the world, Nik and Rajvir. We charged and charged and the German front lines fell. All of a sudden we heard, "Get down!" We heard more machine gun fire. I looked to my side and saw my comrades falling.

I blindly threw a grenade towards the sound of the machine gun. The firing stopped and we marched forward.

"Nik, Rajvir, stay strong!" I yelled.
"You two!" Rajvir called back.

Things were starting to go rough and I started to lose moral. Why are we even fighting this war? I thought, distracted.

We started to push the Germans back. I looked to my left and saw that Rajvir wasn't there. I looked behind me to see him on the ground.

"Rajvir!" I called, tears streaming down my face. Nik followed.

"Go...on. Don't let me hold you back. It'll be better this way..." He managed to wimper. I looked at his shoulder. He has been shot several times. I closed his eyes for him. "Sleep well, friend."

Nik stood up. "We have to win this , for Rajv-"

A bomb went off near him and sent him flying. I ran to him.

"Nik!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I looked up, the rest of the army was farther ahead.

"Stay alive buddy, please. For the love of God, do it god f**king damnit!" I said between sobs.

"My hopes are with you..." He said and breathed his last breath."

Another bomb went off, this time taking me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I seem to have dreams of war very often.

 

[RainCrossing]

Dreams are always occurring when you sleep, but you only remember the REM ones. You dream of the thing you last thought of before you slept. My one is always involving peeing and toilets ಠ_ಠ

 

[FelicityShadow]

So a little background info, I have a really good friend who I had in middle school, now she goes to a different high school that's nearby, but I still haven't seen her since. I really miss her and I considered her my only real friend. I haven't been able to be in touch with her because I didn't have a phone back then.

Awww, I know the feeling. I?ve had friends that I haven?t been able to get in touch with for a long time. Since you?re giving me this background, I imagine you dream about your friend a lot. She must be on your mind a lot in order to dream about her. You might also have some qualities that she has that are being represented in your dreams.

First Dream

So my first dream: Me and her were at my old middle school and we were talking and having so much fun and we were doing things together. I remember it being great, just like how it was back then. I asked her if she wanted my phone number so we can be in touch, but I remember her going silent after that question. And the light also turned dark. I try to say something after but I couldn't. I couldn't move my mouth and couldn't talk even though I wanted to really badly. The dream ended soon after.

By your background, could I assume that you are in high school? I ask because it gives some weight on the significance of being in your old middle school. Dreaming of being in school can mean different things depending on what is happening. I will put the different alternatives since I cannot determine which one is most accurate in this situation. Only you could decide. However, depending on the other symbols I might point to one of them. Dreaming that you are in school can either be: childhood insecurity that hasn?t been resolved, anxieties about abilities, a reflection of daily life, or a metaphor that you are going through your own learning experience. I usually like to think it is the latter two because the former two explanations are usually for those that are adults beyond college.

As I have mentioned before, thinking a lot about someone will usually place them in your dreams. Seeing a particular friend from your past can also be a way of your dreams telling you to reconnect with a part of yourself that you have lost touch with. However, seeing your background it might mean that you should look this friend up and reconnect with her, seeing as you are thinking of her so much. Your desire to give your friend your number shows that you want to take the initiative and reach out to others, particularly your friend. However, your friend was silent, so you were probably unsure about her reaction or have a lack of understanding. Our dreams are sometimes a ?practice run? where we act out things in the safety and comfort of the subconsciousness so that we can try them for real in the waking world.

Next, I think the sudden change from light to darkness shows a fear in failing to reconnect with this person. It goes hand in hand with the silence of your friend, which can also be interpreted as being uneasy about a situation. Then you wanted to speak but you couldn?t because your mouth wouldn?t open. This can be seen as three different ways: being speechless over some news, a secret you?re trying to keep, or a reflection of REM paralysis and feeling helpless. Just to give you a little bit of info, REM paralysis (or rather atonia as I would like to refer to it as) is when during REM sleep (where most dreaming occurs) your body loses muscle tone and doesn?t move. This include the muscles of your mouth, which is why you might have that feeling of wanting to open them but cannot because in REM you physically cannot do that. This atonia helps us not to act our dreams out (and there?s actually a disorder where you lack this atonia and act out your dreams). While the inability to speak in your dream could either be being speechless or having a secret, it could also just be a reflection of how your body is literally not able to move. By the way, I?m taking this information from a psychology class that I am taking.

In short, I think your dream might be telling you that you?re trying to learn about how you want to approach your friend and reach out to her. The school could be where your ?lessons? are taking place and you are trying to practice this situation in your mind. You might be afraid of failing or that you wouldn?t know what to say, but you should try anyway! It?s always good to try and reach out.

Second Dream

I had another dream the next night: I was at the airport, coming back from a trip from somewhere. I was heading out of the airport, when I see people walking in the opposite direction that are going to board their planes for departure. And in that crowd, I see her again (my best friend mentioned in the last dream) . At first I didn't think it was really her, so I just continued, but then I looked back and saw her long hair and the suitcase I remember she would always carry around. I then knew it was her. I tried to run back and chase after her but as soon as I was like 1 inch from reaching her I remember freezing and couldn't be able to move. She didn't notice me behind her. I tried to move so hard but I was stuck. I just watched her walk and board her flight and then that's when my dream ended.

Airports in dreams are about the birth (arrival) and death (departure) of something. You had arrived from a trip so for you it is the beginning or the birth of something new. Your friend, however, was departing, which could be the death of something (not of her but perhaps of your communications with her or some aspect of her that is within you) or it could be a new idea surrounding her ready to take off. I like to go with the latter explanation because it seems that from the previous dream and from this one, you have a strong desire to establish communication with this friend again. I think it might be telling you that ?flight go and find friend? is ready for takeoff!

You noticed two things about your friend that made you recognize her: her long hair and her suitcase. Long hair indicates that you are thinking long and carefully before making some kind of decision. Perhaps you have been thinking about connecting with your friend again for a while. The suitcase can either be that you are a calm and collected person or that you need a break or change of scenery. I can see it go both ways, so I?ll leave it to you to see which one works better. Then you try to chase after her and chasing someone means you are trying to overcome something hard for you. Perhaps it is again that communication that you are trying to do. You?re very determined to go after this friend. However, you suddenly couldn?t move and froze just as you were about to reach. It could either be a lack of self-confidence (probably with the task) or REM atonia again like I mentioned with your mouth, only this time it is your legs. As I have mentioned, your body usually cannot move during REM so you might be struggling to do so in real life but you cannot. You seem to be subsconsciously aware of this atonia since it happened twice. Reaching out to her means that you have this desire for her.

In short, I think your dreams are telling you to go for it and try to reestablish a connection with your friend again. You?ve been thinking about it for a while. You might not feel confident, but I do encourage you to try and reach out! You never know what could happen!

I hope everything works out! Also, if you?re still confused about the REM parts let me know and I?ll try to clarify, though my professor has told us that we do not know a lot about sleep. The answer might be a bunch of ?I don?t know.?

Awww, I know the feeling. I’ve had friends that I haven’t been able to get in touch with for a long time. Since you’re giving me this background, I imagine you dream about your friend a lot.

You noticed two things about your friend that made you recognize her: her long hair and her suitcase. Long hair indicates that you are thinking long and carefully before making some kind of decision. Perhaps you have been thinking about connecting with your friend again for a while. The suitcase can either be that you are a calm and collected person or that you need a break or change of scenery. I can see it go both ways, so I’ll leave it to you to see which one works better. Then you try to chase after her and chasing someone means you are trying to overcome something hard for you. Perhaps it is again that communication that you are trying to do. You’re very determined to go after this friend. However, you suddenly couldn’t move and froze just as you were about to reach. It could either be a lack of self-confidence (probably with the task) or REM atonia again like I mentioned with your mouth, only this time it is your legs. As I have mentioned, your body usually cannot move during REM so you might be struggling to do so in real life but you cannot. You seem to be subsconsciously aware of this atonia since it happened twice. Reaching out to her means that you have this desire for her.

In short, I think your dreams are telling you to go for it and try to reestablish a connection with your friend again. You’ve been thinking about it for a while. You might not feel confident, but I do encourage you to try and reach out! You never know what could happen!

I hope everything works out! Also, if you’re still confused about the REM parts let me know and I’ll try to clarify, though my professor has told us that we do not know a lot about sleep. The answer might be a bunch of “I don’t know.”

Thank you so much! ^^
I'm sure one day I'll bump into her again.

in my dream last night, i remember my mom shooting me with a gun and i died (i woke up) then i went back to sleep, i looked in a mirror and my hair was wet but it had massive bald spots in it and there were tons of people around and i was terribly embarrassed trying to cover it :|

 

[FelicityShadow]

Oh gosh. Alright.. I've got one I'd like maybe interpreted..? I barely remember it, but it was so vivid at the same time.

First I remember choosing. Between water or plants. I don't actually remember my choice... but I think it was plant.

I remember this ocean cavern. Beautiful place, really. The cavern rock was a deep black with glints of purple occasionally. Aquamarine crystals were occasionally draped across the ceiling, a few scattered on the lower areas of the walls. Sea shells were embedded into the cave rock. Each sea shell had fresh gloss and were pastel colors... like pink, purple, and blue.
Water, about knee deep, was spread across the floor. The color from the crystals reflected into the water, making it a aqua color. Lush patches of seaweed were rooted into the rock in the water. There was an occasional gold glimmer coming from a gold doubloon, hiding in the seaweed.

Then I remember being in a jungle type area. I don't remember much about the scenery, but it was green. Very green. Anyways, this area was home to these plant-like satyrs. o-o There was this huge tree of "life" in the middle of everything, covered in vines. The satyrs could whip vines out of their wrists, kinda like spiderman. xD
I remember them teaching me something, then we went to the ocean cavern place.

Then there was this war? The plant satyrs were fighting these.. walking mermaids? Armies of of the plant satyrs were marching into the beautiful cavern, splashing water everywhere, waving these bone spheres around. I.. took refuge behind a rock. I remember clutching onto a weapon, being panicked, and waking up shortly after.

I was going through the Divergent series while I had this dream, so that might explain a lot. xD
I never thought of it meaning something, soo... here it goes. Heh.

Haha no worries! I made the mistake of not recording my dreams because I was overconfident in my abilities to remember them. Now some of the most vivid dreams I used to remember are now fragments. I?m used to working with those ?vivid but not vivid? dreams.

First, you had a choice between water or plants. Water is your subconsciousness and emotions. It can also represent life energy, healing, and refreshment. Plants on the other hand, represent fertility, spiritual development, growth, and caring nature. Perhaps you are trying to decide between these different symbols and you chose plant. I will wait later in the interpretation to see what the plant means, but I left these here so that you can decide as well. Next, you were in an ocean cavern. For this, I looked at both the meanings for cave and ocean. Caves represent the womb which in turn represent protection and concealment. Since the cavern was deep black, it represents your exploration of the subsconsciousness and self-discovery. Keeping that it was an ocean cavern in mind, I think it means that you are exploring your emotions and feelings. The ocean and well water in general tends to reflect the emotional or subconscious state of mind.

I?m going to put together the different details concerning the ceiling, walls, and the seashells. There seems to be a lot of a theme of unexplored potential, emotions, health, security, and stability. Since you were more fascinated then afraid of the blackness, it represents hidden spirituality and divine qualities. The occasional purple you saw could represent healing abilities, kindness, compassion, wealth, royalty, and dignity. I think it leans towards more of healing and kindness, but I put the others as some things to think about. I also encourage you to look at the other meanings on dreammoods as there are plenty of meanings for colors. You also saw crystal aquamarine on either the ceiling or the walls. First, crystals signify purity, healing (here again!) development, and unity. It could also be another pun on the dreams part that something is ?crystalizing? or taking shape. It can also represent the higher self, especially since some of it was on the ceiling, which is your mental or spiritual perspective on things. These crystals were aquamarine, which is appropriate given that it is an ocean cavern and it shares meaning with the water symbol. It can also be trying to tell you to keep lines of communication open. In general it symbolizes youth, vitality, creativity, and hope. The seashells represent security and protection, particularly with how you protect your true feelings. Their glossiness represents true potential yet to be unleashed. Perhaps the dream is trying to tell you to let your true feeling show. This goes well with the pastel colors which indicate not fully recognizing or dealing with part of your emotions. Since the seashells were on cave rock, it might indicate a stubbornness in dealing with these feelings. In short, I think your dream might be pointing to your healing and hidden potential, perhaps with your emotions and how you deal with them.

Next, there was the part where you had water up to your knees and notice a gold doubloon shimmering. I think water up to your knees represents being somewhat overwhelmed with emotion. I?m taking this by combining water and the knees symbol. While knees can represent support, since it is combined with water at a certain height, I take it as you being very emotional or taking on more than you can handle. You also saw seaweed within the rocks, which symbolize relying on intuition and trusting your instincts. Perhaps this combined with the rock symbol suggests that you are contemplating this change and want to rely on your instincts (rock means several things which is why it meant something different before). Then you saw a shimmering golden doubloon. Gold coins represent success and wealth and gold in general represents richness, reward, and determination. Things that are shimmering or sparkling are how dreams tell us to pay attention to something in life. Perhaps the dream is telling you to pay attention to your success or perhaps your money or spending. However, I can also see it as the phrase ?all that glitters is not gold.? Perhaps you need to be careful and make sure that you are not being played by ?fool?s gold.? I think this part might be about feeling overwhelmed or emotional and noticing some form of reward in the horizon. Your dream might be telling you to trust your instincts on whether to take this is a true reward or to be skeptical as if it is ?fool?s gold.?

Then, you went into a jungle where you met satyrs and the tree of life. The jungle represents parts of you that are inhibited or chaos in your waking life. It?s because of the phrase ?It?s a jungle out there.? Perhaps it is referring to the emotions again. Green can mean many things. It can be positive change, good health, growth, fertility, healing, hope, and more. It might mean ?go ahead? like a green light or it can also be a metaphor for a lack of experience. I see it being any or more than one of these, which is why I put all of the meanings I think are relevant here. For the satyrs I had to search up what they were and I find it interesting that you dreamt the satyrs because they were fertility spirits of the woodlands or wilderness. They?re apparently pals with the god of wine Dionysos so they?re usually partying it up in the woodlands. Perhaps the satyrs are also representative of fertility meaning from the green symbol as well as the chaos and repressed things. Perhaps this celebratory aspect of you is what is so suppressed. I was surprised to find that dreammoods had a ?tree of life? symbol. Apparently it represents your connection to living things and reminds you that you are not alone. It goes well with the vines which represent hopes and ambitions. Maybe you are trying to look within the chaos for your connections to others, hopes, and ambitions. This is especially true with the satyrs? power which indicates that you need to draw into your own inner strength and willpower to overcome whatever bothers you. Perhaps that is what the satyrs are trying to teach you. Teaching usually means you are seeking advice or knowledge and are learning to deal with the present by using past experience.

I find it really interesting that in the beginning you made a choice between water and plant and you also end up going to both a water themed area and a plant based area. Perhaps the water and plant choice reflects a choice between the two different scenarios that I have interpreted above. It seems you have chosen venturing into the chaos and emotions and finding what it is that you have repressed and letting it out. You might have chosen strength and willpower and a willingness to learn. The satyrs accompanying you to the ocean cavern place might be a way of them teaching you to go back and analyze that situation.

Spoiler: last part of dream. Certain implications made here

Due to the implications of some of the meanings, I decided to put a spoiler tag. I will let you take whatever you want from this. I find it fascinating how they fit, but they may or may not apply to you.

We have a war going on. Wars signify chaos and disorder in life. I lean more towards the idea that there is some kind of internal conflict or emotional struggle within you. This conflict has to do with the plant-satyrs vs. mermaids war. There is a conflict between these two symbols. I also encourage you to look back at the different scenes and interpretations again and draw meaning between ?water vs. plant.? Mermaids in dream signify female aspects that are mysterious and secretive. It is also interesting to note that mermaids are sometimes a fear of sex. I find this interesting because the satyrs are lively, celebratory, and expressive and represent fertility. Perhaps there is a conflict between the mysterious and the fear of sex and the expressive self and fertility. The splashing can either be telling you to be more expressive or to be revitalized. Spears are representative of power and fertility, which fits that the satyrs are the ones wielding them. Since they were made of bones, it represents underlying strength and discovery of secrets. Also, since this is a war, consider the phrase ?having a bone to pick with someone.? Do you have a bone to pick (or poke) with someone? I also think that since you picked plant in the beginning that you might be subsconsciously siding with the plant-satyrs in this war and have a bone to pick with the mermaids. In this dream you hid behind a rock (third time rock is mentioned). Hiding suggests there are secrets you have or that you are not able to deal with an issue and are trying to subconsciously hide from it. Perhaps the rock is again showing your stubbornness in dealing with situations. This is emphasized by the weapon in your dream, showing how much you want to defend yourself. You want do defend yourself from the panic or the lack of control. Definitely for this part of the dream, look at water vs. plant, ocean cavern vs. jungle, and satyr vs. mermaid. I think the war is the true summary of an internal conflict made clear by the previous parts of the dream.

I haven?t read Divergent but I know of it. What we read has influence in what we dream sometimes. Perhaps themes from Divergent are reflected in the dream. I find it funny that you didn?t think there would be much meaning. I found a lot of your symbols relating to each other and different pairs. This was a really fun one to do! I wonder if any of this made sense. Hope this helps you somehow!

I just had a dream where I found an abandoned fox cub in the woods (at least I think it was abandoned) and I brought it home. Somehow the mother fox found her way into our apartment building after we've returned home. Last thing I remember is mother fox and fox cub having an emotional (!) reunion before I let them outside where they both ran towards freedom. :')

Awww this dream was adorable! I will try my best to do it justice. It’s nice to interpret a happy dream amidst all of the nightmare or sad ones (not that I don’t like them! I just love the variety).

First, this fox was abandoned. I’m going to combine the two meanings of being lost and abandoned, because the abandonment is really only applied to if you were abandoned. Then again our symbols represent us, so I think it is okay. Both symbols refer to either overlooking feelings or having unresolved issues or feelings pertaining to someone. It asks to look at the symbol that is lost and see what aspects it has that seems to be “lost.” It can also be interpreted as living with “reckless abandon” and being freer. In this case, it was a fox cub, which is pretty interesting because the symbols can seem to contradict. Cubs represent innocence and playfulness, but they are also representative of mischievousness. Foxes, in the meanwhile represent being clever, cunning, and resourceful. Perhaps you have lost some of these qualities and need to find them again and maybe try to balance them? You found this fox cub in the woods, which can be representative of undiscovered potential and the unknown. Perhaps these qualities were unknown because they were lost and finding the fox cub is indicative that you need to embody these qualities again.

Then you decided to take this fox cub home. Your home is where you find security, what you need, and your values. Perhaps, finding these qualities is equivalent to finally feeling “at home” with yourself and your values. In particular, your house is an apartment. Apartments represent the financial or emotional state. Perhaps since you have described this as more of your home, the apartment represents being in line with your values and feeling secure in either finances or emotions. I lean towards the emotions more because of the previous symbol of being formerly “lost” or overlooking emotion. Perhaps taking the fox home represents finally acknowledging these lost emotions or unresolved issues and feeling more secure. For the mother fox, I will do the same as the fox cub and combine both mother and fox attributes. Mothers are representative of comfort, guidance, and protections and foxes again are clever, cunning, and resourceful. I can also see this dream as your “child” self in the form of the fox cub and your “maternal” self in the form of the mother fox. Perhaps you were in that lost innocent stage and now you have found your comfort zone and are protected from that naivet?. Since they had a reunion, it suggests that you have already incorporated these aspects within yourself. Now, you need to move away from your comfort zone as suggested by their freedom.

In summary, it seems that the fox cub represents your past self, your innocence, and the parts of yourself that you have neglected or “lost.” Perhaps there are also some unresolved emotions or issues in the past. However, you were able to find the aspects you lost, feel more secure, and are now more comfortable with yourself as suggested by the mother fox finding the cub. You then need to take initiative and use that free independent spirit and get out of your comfort zone as suggested by their achieving freedom. I hope this helps!

so the only dreams i recall are a zombie apocalypse movie with a gay couple as the starring roles, people trying to stab me, other ways of me almost dying, and a dream in japanese with subtitles.

aside from the verdict that i watch too much anime, is my subconscious trying to kill me? ...and it wants to be a gay man?

 

[Wrathie83]

I had a rather weirdish one...i dreamt i wearing a wedding dress, veil..etc.. and being chased down the road by the wrestler Undertaker o_0.

Spoiler: TW:Animal Death

I had a dream my pet rat was dying and something got in it's cage and bit is all over so it was bleeding all over, and I took it to the sink to rinse off the blood and it kept stiffing up and I dried it off and it would take a few steps and hunch over and while it walked away a few more steps it turned into a smaller white mouse, and it keeled over and I picked it up and it was stiff so I was blowing into it's nose and pushing on its chest trying to revive it, and I just remember holding the tiny mouse crying and cursing and trying to get it to breath... it was really depressing.

 

[Nightmares]

My dream:

I was in the police force or something like that, and we were trying to catch this criminal. He began to run away up this hill, and we wanted to stop him but we didn't, staying by our old truck (the police car xD). He stopped and cocked his gun. Suddenly he appeared beside the truck, aiming to kill us all. As he circled around the vehicle, I panicked, and circled too, following his feet from the space under the car. This carried on for a while.
I was pretty scared, and in my dream I thought: "I hate dreams like this. Please wake up, please."
Then we all appeared on the floor around him, with a load of other random people. I started shuffling on my stomach, along the ground, trying to get away from him. This woman who was sitting near me, said something along the lines of: "Oh that's right - just escape on your own, without us."
As she said this, the criminal spotted me and held up his gun to shoot me. I started screaming and covering my face with my arms.

Then the dream ended xD
Pretty funny aha

A while ago, I had a series of dreams where I would be dreaming that I was in bed. It was very much like sleep paralysis. Anyway, I felt like I was on the edge of the bed and about to fall off. I tried to move but I couldn't. There was nothing scary in the dream, I was just trying to not fall off the bed.

In another dream. I was sitting on a chair. I was about to fall off again too, so I tried to move but I couldn't. These dreams lasted for a while, and it was kind of weird.


Also.. I had a seperate dream my ex bff told me to kill myself so I did. I nearly hanged myself in a park, where we often spent time together there, and they came right before I hanged myself to say sorry. I was crying after I woke up, because they know I'm very suicidal and depressed irl. I guess this is a sign I really want to be friends again, but that will never happen.


edit: another dream with the ex bff

we were friends again in this dream, and we were hanging out. i forgot how but he gets injured pretty badly because of me and i start crying on how he got hurt because of me

edit: oh another one

this was a lot violent than my usual dreams, which was me beating my stepfather to death with a baseball bat. i hate him. i suspect its probably a sign of my anger towards him and what he did to me when i was a child (hes gone now, thankfully) but i remember the dream. he was begging for my forgiveness and i just said no and bashed his head in

 

[FelicityShadow]

I had a dream once that i was in my kitchen just talking to my parents and then a man came through the door, his eyes were very bloodshot, like his whole eye was red except his pupil, and my dad said 'is that a stranger?' And I say yes. Then I start screaming and my dad says 'oh god' and when he comes in he says 'let's talk about birthing.' Then I woke up

Just to note that it was pitch black outside in the dream
Also that the stranger had dirty shoulder length hair and he was a man

Wow that sounds like a curious stranger! While unfortunately, I could not find a symbol for eyes being bloodshot, I will try to combine different symbols and see if I can make sense of it. First, we need to focus on the setting: the kitchen. Kitchens represent warmth, being healed, and being supplied “spiritual nutrients.” It can also be your nature towards the people you love. It can also represent transformation seeing as this is where new creations take place in the house. As we go into the dream, we can determine which meaning fits more, but I am leaning towards the transformation one. Seeing your parents within this space represents power, shelter, and love or being worried about your parents. That I will leave to you to decide.

You were then interrupted by a strange man who represents a part of yourself that is hidden and repressed. It can even be the dream helper here to offer you help. From your description of him, I think he represents some of your attitudes and might be telling you a message of purifying mind, heart and body. Since you noticed his eyes, in particular, you were having either a connection or an understanding with that aspect of yourself. These eyes, however, were red, and red can mean many things. It can either be passion, energy, power or courage. Since the eyes were red, it might be pointing to “seeing red” which indicates anger. Perhaps this stranger is trying to show you some important message, but it makes you angry?

Your father then asked you a question to which you replied yes. Fathers represent authority, protection, and a need for self-reliance, but always with people that we know the most, you have to think about aspects of his character that you yourself have or want to have. His asking indicates that there is some sort of info or knowledge you need to share. Seeing as you said yes, represents that you accepted something or that you are given permission to do something you had doubts in during real life. Since you said yes about the person being a stranger, maybe you are reaffirming that connection to certain aspects of you, accepting that you are angry, or accepting some sort of doubt you had concerning these things.

For the birthing, I took it as perhaps the dream is trying to tell you about giving birth to a new idea or having a fresh start on something. Since he is asking at probably a time that you are not ready for birthing, suggest that you feel unsure or unprepared about something new. The pitch black darkness representing night outside goes more into that unpreparedness, showing some possibly setbacks in achieving your goals. However, that can also refer to new beginnings so don’t be too discouraged. I think you make your own meaning depending on what you choose to do.

In short, I think you might be undergoing a transformation about yourself, and you either have the connection to energy for it or you are somewhat upset or angry. You are accepting but you may have doubts. However, there is definitely something about having new ideas or undergoing something new. I hope this helps!
